That bolt map is awesome. The thing only people who have done it long enough think about. Pure simple genius idea.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm sure I picked it up from someone else but it really beats laying them on the bench and forgetting what goes where. I've had the sprocket cover off four times now and that piece of cardboard owes me nothing. :)

Please note that the spindle is inserted from the RH side of the bike and make sure if you do swap it round you get the chain adjuster block on the correct sides. A lot easier to do chain adjustment this way. Also make sure that sprocket carrier spacer is not damaged it has been know for it to burr up and you cannot tighten the wheel enough (Mk1 only). Those cush drive rubbers did not look right, i did my chain and sprockets on the Mk 2 Bandit at 27000 miles and again at 60000 and they looked good and where a resistance fit. Did the hub bearings and wheel bearings at 60000 also while the wheel was out. I find it a good time to do the suspension linklage bearings too when the wheel come out. Regards Rob UK

Thanks for the feedback, Rob. The axle nut on the RHS - that's the way the bike was when I got it, and I did notice in the reference materials that it was supposed to be the other way round. So I "un-"reversed it - even made a video* - only to discover later that I liked it better the way it was. You can watch the video if you like, but the meat is in the comments: "Why did I do this? With the nut on the right side, the muffler is in the way of taking it off. Also, I figured Suzuki put it in a certain way for a reason. What did I find out later? So you've adjusted the chain tension and it's just right, and properly aligned too. But wait - when the nut is on the left side, tightening it moves the axle back ever so slightly, which tensions the chain further, AND throws off the alignment. When it's on the right, tightening the nut keeps the axle in place against the adjuster. And because I use a chain alignment tool (fortnine.ca/en/motion-pro-cha...) that sights along the top of the chain, I remove the fender/chain guard unit when adjusting the chain, and THAT is a lot easier with the muffler removed. Which is half of the reason I un-reversed the axle in the first place." *kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmLXhIGMn62LbtU
